I love you man, it doesn't matter which musical path you've taken, the important thing is that you do what you like, what you feel happy doing. Just stay alive, don't leave us, we've lost them all, Kurt Cobain, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, among many others.. you are a living legend, no matter what they say, you will always be better than you are propose to do, never forget that. your talent is gigantic, it doesn't matter if it's rock or pop, you're very good, I'm your fan!! I want your good always. much love from Brazil
I was 21 sitting in Martin Place Sydney eating my lunch watching these kids who called them selves the Innocent Criminals, I was amused but they play these amazing songs including ‘tomorrow’ fronted by this long haired blonde kid who could barely look up but had the most powerful voice I’ve ever heard , when he belted out those songs accompanied by his mates who were equally killing it I was so captured I was late back to work… weeks later I was so excited to hear ‘Tomorrow’ on the radio only difference was they were called Silverchair, I shared it with everyone saying ‘ I saw these kids they’re amazing ’ been a fan ever since… ❤
I just discovered Silverchair with Neon Ballroom when I was on my edge to adulasence with 17/18 and it stuck in my mind ever since. I even recently started to listen to it and other songs from Silverchair again, even to Diorama I couldn't hear for many years as it was the record I listened to the most when one of my loved ones broke up with me. But as Daniel I evolved and came out stronger through darkest times than I ever was. So much love and respect to everything he and his bandmates acomplished. I'm just sad I never got the chance to see them live here in Germany. Best wishes and love ❤❤❤
It's bonkers to think how many people have the same sort of experiences across the world that all stem from the same source. You indeed have made an impact in the world.
@@DanielJohnsHQ Although i think you were incredible in silverchair daniel and i miss the band its just good to see you doing well mate and feeling better. You are a true talent and from one australian to another i'm proud of you and when you feeling down and going through some stuff just know that your fans care about you mate all the best for the future.
When silverchair hit the scene in 1995 it inspired me to start a band. I was15 at the time and you guys made realize what I wanted to do with my life. You guys are and will always be my fav band. I named my son which is 19 now, John Daniel because of the affect you had on my life. It breaks my heart to see you guys not being able to work things out. Hopefully it will one day, and I wish the best for you all. Tuna in the Brine will always be the most magical song ever to me, keep rockin man!
Discovering Silverchair this year is the best thing thats ever happened to me. Every life affirming performance + album is a 100/10. Never connected to any other music or lyrics more than his - Fucking amazing. You can't even describe the albums because they're otherworldly - every album is fucking GODLY. It's fucking insane how good this music is, like I could cry. Get fucked, I can't believe I missed out on this shit for 23 years lol. Daniel you're a true musician and human, best music I've literally ever heard - Diorama made me want to live again
@@BryanHRBrodie I wholeheartedly agree, you said it perfectly. I randomly came across a 1999 concert video and was blown away by it, especially Suicidal Dream. I then listened to the studio version on Frogstomp and remember thinking this is nothing compared to the live version.. Through more concerts (I think I've watched every one on youtube lol) I realised every performance of theirs is unrealistically good like better than any music I've ever heard. Then I listened to Freakshow and thought wow, this describes my life perfectly.. Then Neon Ballroom described my life even more perfectly. Then Diorama just hit it out the ballpark. Like each album just got better and realer. It's literally hilarious how good their music is, like I still can't believe it. I only just listened to The Dissociatives this week as I've been trying to fathom the other albums for the past 8 months haha. Also just listened to I Can't Believe It's Not Rock and the song Rain has me in a bloody chokehold. This shit is crazy. They have set the bar way too high for other artists lol this musical talent is truly unrealistic like in my 23 years of life I've never heard anything this moving or emotionally real. It's truly shocking
@@willowtree3305 you are spot on again. They nailed it live every single time. I play guitar a little and how daniel sings and plays some of those chords especially on later albums blows me away. I'm 38 and started playing guitar because of how I felt hearing nirvana for the first time. I can't believe I missed silverchair but im pretty certain I would have heard freak and tomorrow when I was younger but somehow it passed me by until lockdown. Every time I put freak on the stereo or played the riff on guitar my 2 year old would drop everything and start head banging. I'm definitely gonna check out those songs you mentioned. I appreciate your like mindedness. A lot of people are only interested in the first 2 albums but if they only gave the other albums a chance they would surely come around to the genius of Daniel Johns.
@@BryanHRBrodie I had that same feeling too watching Nirvana's Unplugged performance, was immediately hooked. Learning their discography has been amazing - honestly the best band ever. Got my first guitar a few months ago & its taken me that long just to learn Come As You Are, they make it look so easy! The fact they can play that well & sing at the same time is wild, it's so much harder than I thought! Did you watch tutorials on youtube to learn Freak? Thats so awesome your kid is loving music too! I see people comparing Kurt & Dan but their music/singing couldn't be more different, only similar thing is the honest songwriting, having no limits in expressing their emotions & life experiences, the unique & creative, sometimes even funny lyrics. Basically I just love how their songs are about life - relatable yet taboo topics people don't often openly discuss.. It's so healing to listen to. I also love how they stood up for the right things & used their platforms for positive change. I reckon Kurt would've loved Silverchair for sure. I also heard songs like Greatest View & Straight Lines on the radio growing up but never knew who it was or took much notice of it. When I listened to the albums I was shocked that I recognised some of them & have been hearing these songs my whole life. Even seeing the Young Modern cd cover brought back memories of 2007 being a kid seeing it in supermarkets/promoted on tv, yet I never truly acknowledged it. I also love Daniel's song 'Going on 16', it has a cool music video too. I think their best music video is Without You, its so beautiful, such a breathtaking meaningful song. I like all genres so I can vibe to all his music, but I've definitely seen the people who only like the first 2 albums & its their loss! I also find with the Nirvana fans most of them really hate Courtney Love, I think her band Hole is incredible & her songwriting & performances are fantastic, to me Hole's music is up there with Dan and Kurt! As someone who didn't grow up with rock/alternative music, its great finding these new bands, currently loving Dookie by Green Day and Adore by Smashing Pumpkins. If you have any recommendations for any music I'd give anything a go
As a lifelong Silverchair fan,, I'm so happy that this band and Daniel continue to pull in more fans! It's fantastic. So glad you got to discover them! It's bloody great when you discover an old-but-new-to-you band or artist. You get to approach their music with complete freedom and no historical baggage. You appreciate the music on its own merits. I discovered the Beatles recently (Daniel's a big fan) and like you, kicking myself that I missed out on so many years of their music! Anyway, better late than never right?
As a 79 baby myself, the last woman summed it all up perfectly. I will never get to see this exhibit in person, so this little doco is as close as I'll get and I appreciate all of it. Cheers from Tofino, BC! ✌
Same here. Born in 75 & I lived in small town Rapid City SD pop like less than 60g most of my life. Of course I had to rely on radio play for most of it too... So it was either 2 radio stations, one of which my mom worked at as newscast there, so often a couple of her Coworkers that DJ'd on the fm station would send cool tapes home for me so I got a couple... I think it was Freak Show. And MTV who believe it or not played VIDEOS still back then. So I would record them on my VCR... LOL...
I feel so privileged to have been in the credits…..I’m the last person who speaks, and it’s very surreal. Emergency Calls Only and the line “I don’t know what has been going on” has really connected with me and is my favourite song from FN. I’ve just gone through an ending of sorts and have been a bit lost, that song has helped me be content, so was stoked to talk over it!. I was belting the song out in my car right before the email with the link to the documentary came out in fact!! Silverchair has meant so much to me for as long as I can remember, and I feel like I got to say thank you to all of them. I hope Ben & Chris know it too. Was the best era to grow up and they killed it, they should all be so proud of their achievements.
@@leaveittoweaver4525 my family is from Rapid City on both parents sides! I wonder if our grandparents knew each other lol everyone there seems to know each other
All the best for the future Daniel xx You have made a massive impact on many of us through your music. Thank you for not giving up and being here to make music.
I'm just driving down the freeway, on tha wrong side of the road. Dam these normal people wanting to just get home safe. how dare they not get out of my way I'm a important musician. Now I've got new neck tattoos and I need sympathy so I employ a lesbian "journalist" and here we are.
Silverchair was such an amazing band. Those songs will live on forever. So much passion and feeling. The connection those 3 kids had is something special that doesn't come around too often.
As a dysfunctional member of the musical society, I totally get what you try to express in your music, art, and even the much dreaded interviews!!! You just need to remember you are a real person and your journey is honest and you are being real with yourself!!!! Screw what society thinks, and embrace your journey!!!. Music has always been therapy for me. People, friends and critics don't always get it. But that's ok. My musical journey has taken me to some very dark places, but I always came out on the other side. I came from an abusive home life and music was my escape. But through my journey it has become my survival!!!! It doesn't matter if I am successful, because what I do is part of my journey. It helps me grow as a person and deal with my past on a positive level!!! I was a big 'Silverchair' fan, but I am a bigger fan of your present journey, Because it's the real Daniel!!!! Much love to you Daniel, and I hope you are getting the healing you need or want!! You are very talented and don't you forget it!!!!
I’m a 60yr old woman from the US and I’m sure you will never see this but I love you Daniel .. I’ve followed you since you started.. I love the way you write songs and I can see how warm your heart is… not that it matters but I’m very proud of you!!
I think Daniel was an artist who was never allowed to grow up and explore his creativity naturally, he had to do it under the gaze of the media with constant pressure to perform.....multiple hit records prove he coped with the situation remarkably well, but at the expense of his own mental health. Maybe now he is free from expectation and his best work is yet to come
Dude you were way ahead of your time. Very very authentic and talented colorful soul. I hope you do mend yourself and your relationship with the other two guys. Because the world needs the music you do past present and future. I think mending your relationship with ben and Chris would be a very big piece of mind for all of you and for all of us. Nothing but love from all the way in Tennessee.
It’s incredible to note, despite the battle of mental health issues (in an era where it still was a taboo!!) and despite the physical health issues, first and foremost: Daniel’s UNPARALLELED ability to take the pain and transmute it in the most profound and meaningful ART, WHILE he was struggling with it! TIMELESS art that will never cease to make sense. Daniel, you are one of the most STRONG and inspirational beings on this earth!! Being true to yourself teaches the ill society we all live in the most important lesson! We love you.
I grew up with you guys, Silverchair, I’m a 79’ baby too 🥰. I hope you will continue bringing out new music & maybe just maybe you guys can work it out & make another Silverchair album 😊 Mental health is very hard. Hope you can pull through to continue doing it! ❤
What a decent, articulate, brilliant human being you are Daniel Johns. Truly a global superstar from your first days of Silverchair and now as a solo "artist". I am a lifelong fan from Lake Macquarie, Australia. I saw Silverchair live at Newcastle Entertainment Centre during the Diorama tour and I will never forget it. My twin sons who are now 24, have grown up with the music from when they were wee little men as Silverchair's music is on high rotation in our home. One of them even has your brilliant album "Talk". Love Futurenever. Thank you.
I wish I had been able to see the exhibition, but, alas, I live in America. It looks fantastic and fascinating. When I read about Daniel's troubles recently and having dealt with a few traumatic life upheavals of my own this year, I began re-listening to Silverchair. It's been a wonderful experience reconnecting to my past, feeling like my old self again, and shamelessly rocking out. My senior year of high school many, many years ago I had a friend who was a foreign exchange student from Melbourne. She shared a lot of Aussie bands with me. One morning during break, I got myself a Sprite to drink. Sprite was running a promotion that if you screw off the cap and are a winner, you could win a CD. There were only three choices, and Neon Ballroom was one. I've never won anything before in my life. Because of my Aussie friend, I chose Neon Ballroom. I waited for nearly a year to get that CD, figured that it was some sort of scam because it took so long to arrive. To this day, Neon Ballroom is one of my favorite albums. Sadly, I lost contact with my friend about a decade ago. I hope she's all right and still enjoying the music too. Thank you, Daniel. Keep your chin up, head held high. You've made a difference in many people's lives.
I am from Colombia, I pretty much learned english singing to the "Neon Ballroom" album. and also became a better singer myself. I have much respect for you Daniel. Keep it up! You are the source of inspiration of more people than you think!
It’s crazy to feel like I have an unspoken friendship with someone that I’ve never met in person but have connected with in a deep, soulful way through his music. Thank you Daniel. It’s been a great ride brother. You’ve touched many hearts and opened minds.
It's so easy to connect to what Daniel is talking about, because he lays it all out. You feel the unease, you feel the joy, how he unpacks answers, trying to encompass a lot with few words. Really amazing person. A genius? Sure, why not. We encounter them every day. These are people made of flesh and blood, with all their faults and virtues and not some myths from the past.
Unfortunately, I was able to see only one time live the Silverchair and Dan. It was in 1999 @ the Independent Days Festival in Bologna (Italy). I grew up with Silverchairs. I've bought a black Les Paul Custom, not only for that incredible smooth sound, smooth neck&feel when you play it, but also because Daniel had that guitar. And, with my band, when we recorded our demo, I've demanded that sound in "Spawn again". Thanks Dan. Damn, thanks. For all the noise, all the words, for all that feelings in Future Never too. From Dan, to Dan.
Have such deep respected for Daniel and all he’s accomplished, shows to be and shares. He’s one of a kind, devoted to his craft in any medium it can breathe alive. All the love Daniel… I hope the future is much kinder to you 💘
When I see all these photos I realize that all this is my life too. I am 79 and I grew up with Daniel and his music and I'm happy about that. Greetings from very distant Serbia and thank you Big D for all you done for me and my music life!
Just in case, probably someone have already told this to you, anyways... You are made of GOLD. You are the GOLD STANDARD unbeatable to this time. If you disagree with my statement above, then I have ti say you are extremely precious to all of us, anonymous people, walking by, driving around, on a subeay, on a beach, thinking... No one makrs MUSIC as they musicians used to to do in the 90s till early 2000s. RAW, unapologetic powerful songs like very few dared to di. May be using a piano or a banjo, or guitars to communicate emotions with such frankness that whoever went or is going through a similar situation described in the lyrics, immediately feel like "Somebody else has been through this before - meaning that, I can go through walking till I find the light." At first glance, those brutally truthful, honest songs may sound bad, generate repulsive feelings until you realize no one can speak so accurately about "topic" without been there before. Then the song becomes very familiar and you understand, although it is about suffering or something else, it had to be done that way, the best way to express something, feelung, moments, experiences etc. THANK YOU DANIEL JOHNS. YOU ARE SHINING DIAMOND.
I TOTALLY LOVED THE VIDEO SERIES, TELLS SO MANY THINGS PLUS THE ART EXHIBITION LOOKS TOTALLY AMAZING AND SEEING HOW FAR DANIEL JOHNS HAS GONE WITH HIS PASSION FOR MUSIC AND THE EXTENSION HIS ARTISTIC EXPRESSION HAS REACHED IS COMPLETELY ADMIRABLE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING SUCH A GRAND MASTERPIECE AND COLLECTIONS OF ARTWORK WITH THE WORLD, WISH I COULD AFFORD GOING TO AUSTRLIA TO SEE THE PLACE IN PERSON BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THERE´S NO OTHER PLACE ON EARTH THE SAME!!!
That was great. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us, Dan. Also, I love that this album shows you and everyone that you don't HAVE to perform live to make a number one record. ⭐❤️⭐
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us Daniel. I've been through some pretty messed up crap starting from when I was pretty young. I really had no one I could talk to, but the music was always there. Music has always been my love, and it gave an outlet to get some of the poison out of my system to be able to go the next day. Hope you're well, and much love and respect to you.
Since i live in Europe i don't think i'll ever be able to see the exhibit in person so i'm super happy to see this episode! What a fun ride this mini docuseries was! 💕
Thank you for sharing your incredible journey from the spiralling depths to mind blowing highs. The sacrifices you have made along the way have guided you to become a much loved incredible human being for whom the word ‘genius’ is truly fitting.
There is something beyond words in this album. I'm from Poland and English is not so obvious to me, but somehow it resonates with me, as if I know what this record is about. It is the language of sound and emotion. Thanks for this.
Daniel, thank you for all of your work. ALL OF IT. I was 6yo in 1995 when my sister gave me my very first CD for Christmas: a neat little package that had a big green frog on it. You’re the bees knees my friend, and my love and affection for music and bands started with YOUR band! Never ending support from North Carolina, US!
Sending love and hugs brother! we: Your forever fans -see you!.. we adore your art and Music.. you've been through so much.. wish you peace love and music
Daniel, Ben, Chris, your art made me. I was 1 year younger than you when I first heard "Tomorrow." It was great as a kind of post-grunge experiment. You all, with Van Dyke Parks, have made music I share with the kids. Introduction a 20 year old to "Across The Night," or "Tuna in the Brine," "Open Fire," and more, and watching their faces as they recognize the artistic perfection you 3 embodied....makes me tear up. You were why I grew my hair out. Why I wanted a PRS, a Soldano Head, and why I got serious about music. I saw you once in Houston, with Ammonia in the 90's for the "Freak" tour. "Cemetary...." "Faultline" was gold. "Undecided," I lived. I deeply deeply appreciate your artistic contribution, cultural contribution, and soul put into chords and an effortlessly perfect voice. You saved me. I love you all so very much. If you read this, just know...LEGACY, INTACT.
I've loved this series - seeing the exhibition in person (whilst all about Daniel of course!) is very much about all of us growing along with him. I'd see the clothes he wore in The Dissociatives on Rove and it took me back to 2004 when I watched the interview. Or I'd see a Freakshow poster that my best friend had hanging in his room when we were in high school. I understand when he says "Let's pretend I'm dead and make the record" because visiting the exhibition felt a bit like attending a wake...remembering all the good times and celebrating a friend we've grown along side.
First, a smash podcast. Then a badass fkn record. And the trifecta, a badass documentary. So many of us have grown up with you Dan, you were the voice of a generation of grungy weird kids. Can’t tell you how good it feels to continue the legacy decades on. We love ya, Dan! 💙
I love that in this docuseries , the exhibit & insta we get to hear the slightly different versions of the tracks. Just like how it was always different back in the day when you used to play live. You have no idea how much I appreciate that! Thanks for keeping it interesting, always! Loved hearing more from the guys about D4NGRSB0Y absolute killer track! That sound at 9:40 needs it’s own emoji, such a fkn vibe!
I'm a fellow musician who's enjoyed your music since I was a teen, and who owns all your albums, I have to say... this is your best album by far! You have a heart of gold Daniel and everyone knows it but you! #MuchLove ✌
Find Happiness in all you do, Daniel; drive down whatever sonic avenue lights your soul to spill out fire; draw from whatever river of inspiration you can and give it back tenfold.
Hey Daniel, watching this part 3, I can only SEE and FEEL how LOVED you are, they say the trees that bear fruit are the ones that are stoned the most, so I hope you hold on to the love we feel for you to continue. DON'T GIVE UP ON LIFE, DON'T GIVE UP.. you are loved, okay? You are important... and about the music, if it pleases the public, the old fans and etc: fuck it.. The important thing is that you look good, nobody is in your skin to judge you, so we just ask that you look good , take care, we are your fans, we are here, if you need to do a live, chat with us, send a message in DM, we are your admirers, therefore we are your friends. Kisses from Brazil💛💚
Yeah, don't leave us, take time for yourself but like a previous comment, i totally agree You did start at a young age but you made so many awesome songs, your lyrics are so real and touch so many people, which ( i think would be quite hard to do) but you are amazing... keep on keeping on Daniel 😘
I don’t know why but the way he had an emotional time talking about future never makes me feel like it was his goodbye like a suicide letter and the thought on that is horrifying. Outside of the amazing music Daniel has created over the span of his career is just a human being that wants to be understood, feel connection, and feel resonance like anyone else. I truly am sorry that Daniel has through so much trauma and that he felt so ostracized and betrayed. I as a teenager now couldn’t possibly imagine the kind of stress and expectations he felt. My heart goes out to him. He deserves the biggest apology for what the trauma and betrayal he lived through. ❤️🩹😔
You've inspired me to write 2 songs with your voice and your aura. As a songwriter that's not always an easy feat, but when you're organically poised to write purely off of the creative energy of another? It's righteous. Thank you for being you Daniel! ☮🙌🏽
Daniel's music saved my life. Much respect to him for being do vunerable in this docoseries, alot of what he spoke about resonated with me and made mefeel not do alone. Hope his health is good, proud of you for your sobriety and geting help for mental struggles, that takes alot of strength it aint easy. Keep shining, keep inspiring.much love ❤
Brilliant, I've been on a bit of a self exile to gather myself and missed a few things, but I'm glad I jumped on your channel for the 3 part act and an update/insight. The new album is Trippy man, I like it lol
Art is an unbounded ocean. Such a wonderful experience for everyone just wandering through your FutureNever 🙏🏻 (Watching the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse at the same time; love it when the universe does that)
Mate....silverchair was your fuel...you are now orbiting, but you will always be the astronaut. You are such a massive talent and australian at that. Its amazing to connect to you on such a common level with how you express yourself in the videos.
I'm not expecting the exhibition to tour (maybe a mini-exhibition? 🥺) , so I'm so grateful that we've gotten to see some of it in this video and in Daniel's IG stories. I can only imagine how awesome it would be to get to experience in person!
I absolutely love this interviewer. And I absolutely love Daniels smile. I could listen to him talk all day. Absolutely interested in what he has to say.
i just fell in love with the dissociatives. Better late than never. I wasn't a huge fan of silverchair, but this solo stuff is hitting me just right. Get those videos on here in 720p, at least. Great work. This is Daniel's time.
We visited Past, Present and FutureNever on Friday! We loved it and felt so inspired! thank you to the staff that made us feel so welcome and were super helpful.
I love you man, it doesn't matter which musical path you've taken, the important thing is that you do what you like, what you feel happy doing. Just stay alive, don't leave us, we've lost them all, Kurt Cobain, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, among many others.. you are a living legend, no matter what they say, you will always be better than you are propose to do, never forget that. your talent is gigantic, it doesn't matter if it's rock or pop, you're very good, I'm your fan!! I want your good always. much love from Brazil

When I listened to the albums I was shocked that I recognised some of them & have been hearing these songs my whole life. Even seeing the Young Modern cd cover brought back memories of 2007 being a kid seeing it in supermarkets/promoted on tv, yet I never truly acknowledged it.
I also love Daniel's song 'Going on 16', it has a cool music video too. I think their best music video is Without You, its so beautiful, such a breathtaking meaningful song. I like all genres so I can vibe to all his music, but I've definitely seen the people who only like the first 2 albums & its their loss! I also find with the Nirvana fans most of them really hate Courtney Love, I think her band Hole is incredible & her songwriting & performances are fantastic, to me Hole's music is up there with Dan and Kurt! As someone who didn't grow up with rock/alternative music, its great finding these new bands, currently loving Dookie by Green Day and Adore by Smashing Pumpkins. If you have any recommendations for any music I'd give anything a go
As a lifelong Silverchair fan,, I'm so happy that this band and Daniel continue to pull in more fans! It's fantastic. So glad you got to discover them! It's bloody great when you discover an old-but-new-to-you band or artist. You get to approach their music with complete freedom and no historical baggage. You appreciate the music on its own merits. I discovered the Beatles recently (Daniel's a big fan) and like you, kicking myself that I missed out on so many years of their music! Anyway, better late than never right?
As a 79 baby myself, the last woman summed it all up perfectly. I will never get to see this exhibit in person, so this little doco is as close as I'll get and I appreciate all of it. Cheers from Tofino, BC! ✌
Same
same! and YES! Tofino BC!!
Same here. Born in 75 & I lived in small town Rapid City SD pop like less than 60g most of my life. Of course I had to rely on radio play for most of it too... So it was either 2 radio stations, one of which my mom worked at as newscast there, so often a couple of her Coworkers that DJ'd on the fm station would send cool tapes home for me so I got a couple... I think it was Freak Show. And MTV who believe it or not played VIDEOS still back then. So I would record them on my VCR... LOL...
I feel so privileged to have been in the credits…..I’m the last person who speaks, and it’s very surreal. Emergency Calls Only and the line “I don’t know what has been going on” has really connected with me and is my favourite song from FN. I’ve just gone through an ending of sorts and have been a bit lost, that song has helped me be content, so was stoked to talk over it!. I was belting the song out in my car right before the email with the link to the documentary came out in fact!!
Silverchair has meant so much to me for as long as I can remember, and I feel like I got to say thank you to all of them. I hope Ben & Chris know it too. Was the best era to grow up and they killed it, they should all be so proud of their achievements.
@@leaveittoweaver4525 my family is from Rapid City on both parents sides! I wonder if our grandparents knew each other lol everyone there seems to know each other
I Hope SILVERCHAIR comeback again !
No let them develop lives and music beyond that origin. If it happens that has to be organic.
All the best for the future Daniel xx
You have made a massive impact on many of us through your music. Thank you for not giving up and being here to make music.
🙏🙏
I'm just driving down the freeway, on tha wrong side of the road. Dam these normal people wanting to just get home safe.
how dare they not get out of my way I'm a important musician.
Now I've got new neck tattoos and I need sympathy so I employ a lesbian "journalist" and here we are.
Such a talent. It's wild how much you've evolved. Amazing musician and song writer. You make me love and believe in good music again.
Silverchair was such an amazing band. Those songs will live on forever. So much passion and feeling. The connection those 3 kids had is something special that doesn't come around too often.
As a dysfunctional member of the musical society, I totally get what you try to express in your music, art, and even the much dreaded interviews!!! You just need to remember you are a real person and your journey is honest and you are being real with yourself!!!! Screw what society thinks, and embrace your journey!!!. Music has always been therapy for me. People, friends and critics don't always get it. But that's ok. My musical journey has taken me to some very dark places, but I always came out on the other side. I came from an abusive home life and music was my escape. But through my journey it has become my survival!!!! It doesn't matter if I am successful, because what I do is part of my journey. It helps me grow as a person and deal with my past on a positive level!!! I was a big 'Silverchair' fan, but I am a bigger fan of your present journey, Because it's the real Daniel!!!! Much love to you Daniel, and I hope you are getting the healing you need or want!! You are very talented and don't you forget it!!!!
I’m a 60yr old woman from the US and I’m sure you will never see this but I love you Daniel .. I’ve followed you since you started.. I love the way you write songs and I can see how warm your heart is… not that it matters but I’m very proud of you!!
I think Daniel was an artist who was never allowed to grow up and explore his creativity naturally, he had to do it under the gaze of the media with constant pressure to perform.....multiple hit records prove he coped with the situation remarkably well, but at the expense of his own mental health. Maybe now he is free from expectation and his best work is yet to come
I had nO idea he was that iconic in Australia. Really great series. Thanks.
Dude you were way ahead of your time. Very very authentic and talented colorful soul. I hope you do mend yourself and your relationship with the other two guys. Because the world needs the music you do past present and future. I think mending your relationship with ben and Chris would be a very big piece of mind for all of you and for all of us. Nothing but love from all the way in Tennessee.
It’s incredible to note, despite the battle of mental health issues (in an era where it still was a taboo!!) and despite the physical health issues, first and foremost: Daniel’s UNPARALLELED ability to take the pain and transmute it in the most profound and meaningful ART, WHILE he was struggling with it! TIMELESS art that will never cease to make sense.
Daniel, you are one of the most STRONG and inspirational beings on this earth!! Being true to yourself teaches the ill society we all live in the most important lesson! We love you.
I grew up with you guys, Silverchair, I’m a 79’ baby too 🥰. I hope you will continue bringing out new music & maybe just maybe you guys can work it out & make another Silverchair album 😊 Mental health is very hard. Hope you can pull through to continue doing it! ❤
What a decent, articulate, brilliant human being you are Daniel Johns. Truly a global superstar from your first days of Silverchair and now as a solo "artist". I am a lifelong fan from Lake Macquarie, Australia. I saw Silverchair live at Newcastle Entertainment Centre during the Diorama tour and I will never forget it. My twin sons who are now 24, have grown up with the music from when they were wee little men as Silverchair's music is on high rotation in our home. One of them even has your brilliant album "Talk". Love Futurenever. Thank you.
💜 - TeamFuture
I wish I had been able to see the exhibition, but, alas, I live in America. It looks fantastic and fascinating. When I read about Daniel's troubles recently and having dealt with a few traumatic life upheavals of my own this year, I began re-listening to Silverchair. It's been a wonderful experience reconnecting to my past, feeling like my old self again, and shamelessly rocking out.
My senior year of high school many, many years ago I had a friend who was a foreign exchange student from Melbourne. She shared a lot of Aussie bands with me. One morning during break, I got myself a Sprite to drink. Sprite was running a promotion that if you screw off the cap and are a winner, you could win a CD. There were only three choices, and Neon Ballroom was one. I've never won anything before in my life. Because of my Aussie friend, I chose Neon Ballroom. I waited for nearly a year to get that CD, figured that it was some sort of scam because it took so long to arrive.
To this day, Neon Ballroom is one of my favorite albums. Sadly, I lost contact with my friend about a decade ago. I hope she's all right and still enjoying the music too.
Thank you, Daniel. Keep your chin up, head held high. You've made a difference in many people's lives.
Beautiful note, we will share with Dan. Thank YOU - TeamFuture
It is 2:51 AM in Canada. 😂 perfect time to think about FutureNever.
I am from Colombia, I pretty much learned english singing to the "Neon Ballroom" album. and also became a better singer myself. I have much respect for you Daniel. Keep it up! You are the source of inspiration of more people than you think!
💜💜💜 thank you for the kind words - TeamFuture
So happy for Daniel! His tunes have gracefully carried me through the years! ❤
When we take over is PERFECT. A total masterpiece
It’s crazy to feel like I have an unspoken friendship with someone that I’ve never met in person but have connected with in a deep, soulful way through his music. Thank you Daniel. It’s been a great ride brother. You’ve touched many hearts and opened minds.
💜 - TeamFuture
It's so easy to connect to what Daniel is talking about, because he lays it all out. You feel the unease, you feel the joy, how he unpacks answers, trying to encompass a lot with few words. Really amazing person. A genius? Sure, why not. We encounter them every day. These are people made of flesh and blood, with all their faults and virtues and not some myths from the past.
Buenos días o noches Australia !! Desde España . Daniel es pura inspiración
That smile, playing outside...I miss seeing it so much. You have no idea 🍄💗
Unfortunately, I was able to see only one time live the Silverchair and Dan. It was in 1999 @ the Independent Days Festival in Bologna (Italy). I grew up with Silverchairs. I've bought a black Les Paul Custom, not only for that incredible smooth sound, smooth neck&feel when you play it, but also because Daniel had that guitar. And, with my band, when we recorded our demo, I've demanded that sound in "Spawn again".
Thanks Dan. Damn, thanks.
For all the noise, all the words, for all that feelings in Future Never too.
From Dan, to Dan.
Have such deep respected for Daniel and all he’s accomplished, shows to be and shares. He’s one of a kind, devoted to his craft in any medium it can breathe alive. All the love Daniel… I hope the future is much kinder to you 💘
When I see all these photos I realize that all this is my life too. I am 79 and I grew up with Daniel and his music and I'm happy about that. Greetings from very distant Serbia and thank you Big D for all you done for me and my music life!
🙌 - TeamFuture
Thank you so much, love, greetz & respect from Amsterdam(n) The Netherlands 💙🐸🪑
Just in case, probably someone have already told this to you, anyways... You are made of GOLD.
You are the GOLD STANDARD unbeatable to this time.
If you disagree with my statement above, then I have ti say you are extremely precious to all of us, anonymous people, walking by, driving around, on a subeay, on a beach, thinking... No one makrs MUSIC as they musicians used to to do in the 90s till early 2000s.
RAW, unapologetic powerful songs like very few dared to di.
May be using a piano or a banjo, or guitars to communicate emotions with such frankness that whoever went or is going through a similar situation described in the lyrics, immediately feel like "Somebody else has been through this before - meaning that, I can go through walking till I find the light."
At first glance, those brutally truthful, honest songs may sound bad, generate repulsive feelings until you realize no one can speak so accurately about "topic" without been there before.
Then the song becomes very familiar and you understand, although it is about suffering or something else, it had to be done that way, the best way to express something, feelung, moments, experiences etc.
THANK YOU DANIEL JOHNS.
YOU ARE SHINING DIAMOND.
Watching this series, I kept thinking he reminds me somehow of Prince. To the Level.The Artist.
Beautiful xox
Still the best mate!! Keep doing what yah love. 👍💪
I will see you sing again!!! Bucket list !!!
Expecting more content from your channel. Hope you stay healthy and happy always. I miss you and love you so much, Daniel. ❤❤❤
Great watch. Thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏 you are a visionary.
Loved getting a deeper look in to my favourite songs, very special.
This interview was moving and raw. Thanks for being open.
Dan, thank you for your openness. I just want to give you a big hug! Stay positive; love your soul ❤️
I TOTALLY LOVED THE VIDEO SERIES, TELLS SO MANY THINGS PLUS THE ART EXHIBITION LOOKS TOTALLY AMAZING AND SEEING HOW FAR DANIEL JOHNS HAS GONE WITH HIS PASSION FOR MUSIC AND THE EXTENSION HIS ARTISTIC EXPRESSION HAS REACHED IS COMPLETELY ADMIRABLE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING SUCH A GRAND MASTERPIECE AND COLLECTIONS OF ARTWORK WITH THE WORLD, WISH I COULD AFFORD GOING TO AUSTRLIA TO SEE THE PLACE IN PERSON BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THERE´S NO OTHER PLACE ON EARTH THE SAME!!!
That was great. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us, Dan.
Also, I love that this album shows you and everyone that you don't HAVE to perform live to make a number one record. ⭐❤️⭐
Loved it!! Thank you Dan and BMG 💜💜💜
I’m still a fan. Grew up with there music 🎶 and it was there for me in dark times !
Thank you 🙏🤘😎
💜💜💜 thank you for the kind words - TeamFuture
Yay, it finally dropped. Can't wait to see this ⭐😊
Silverchair is one of my main influences on my own songwriting
It's beautiful. I love it, love you & your art, and I'm so glad you are here. 💞
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us Daniel. I've been through some pretty messed up crap starting from when I was pretty young. I really had no one I could talk to, but the music was always there. Music has always been my love, and it gave an outlet to get some of the poison out of my system to be able to go the next day. Hope you're well, and much love and respect to you.
Since i live in Europe i don't think i'll ever be able to see the exhibit in person so i'm super happy to see this episode! What a fun ride this mini docuseries was! 💕
Same here
Thank you for sharing your incredible journey from the spiralling depths to mind blowing highs. The sacrifices you have made along the way have guided you to become a much loved incredible human being for whom the word ‘genius’ is truly fitting.
There is something beyond words in this album. I'm from Poland and English is not so obvious to me, but somehow it resonates with me, as if I know what this record is about. It is the language of sound and emotion. Thanks for this.
Daniels vocals align so well with story telling. Taking the listener to different places with not just lyrics is a true art. Nobody does it better.
Daniel, thank you for all of your work. ALL OF IT. I was 6yo in 1995 when my sister gave me my very first CD for Christmas: a neat little package that had a big green frog on it. You’re the bees knees my friend, and my love and affection for music and bands started with YOUR band! Never ending support from North Carolina, US!
Sending love and hugs brother! we: Your forever fans -see you!.. we adore your art and Music.. you've been through so much.. wish you peace love and music
what an incredible documentation, fantastic exhibition! you are amazing.. love you Dan!💜💜💜
Daniel, Ben, Chris, your art made me. I was 1 year younger than you when I first heard "Tomorrow." It was great as a kind of post-grunge experiment. You all, with Van Dyke Parks, have made music I share with the kids. Introduction a 20 year old to "Across The Night," or "Tuna in the Brine," "Open Fire," and more, and watching their faces as they recognize the artistic perfection you 3 embodied....makes me tear up. You were why I grew my hair out. Why I wanted a PRS, a Soldano Head, and why I got serious about music. I saw you once in Houston, with Ammonia in the 90's for the "Freak" tour. "Cemetary...." "Faultline" was gold. "Undecided," I lived. I deeply deeply appreciate your artistic contribution, cultural contribution, and soul put into chords and an effortlessly perfect voice. You saved me. I love you all so very much. If you read this, just know...LEGACY, INTACT.
So awesome, keen for What If The Future Never Happened 🤘
Im a huge fan since 2002 that night watching MTV latinoamerica i discover "The Greatest View"
Good vibes all the fans around the world, thanks Daniel.
I've loved this series - seeing the exhibition in person (whilst all about Daniel of course!) is very much about all of us growing along with him. I'd see the clothes he wore in The Dissociatives on Rove and it took me back to 2004 when I watched the interview. Or I'd see a Freakshow poster that my best friend had hanging in his room when we were in high school. I understand when he says "Let's pretend I'm dead and make the record" because visiting the exhibition felt a bit like attending a wake...remembering all the good times and celebrating a friend we've grown along side.
thank you so much!
First, a smash podcast. Then a badass fkn record. And the trifecta, a badass documentary. So many of us have grown up with you Dan, you were the voice of a generation of grungy weird kids. Can’t tell you how good it feels to continue the legacy decades on. We love ya, Dan! 💙
Next level from Dan - TeamFuture
What an awesome documentary! Props to everyone involved and to Daniel for being so open.
100% - TeamFuture
I love that in this docuseries , the exhibit & insta we get to hear the slightly different versions of the tracks. Just like how it was always different back in the day when you used to play live. You have no idea how much I appreciate that! Thanks for keeping it interesting, always!
Loved hearing more from the guys about D4NGRSB0Y absolute killer track! That sound at 9:40 needs it’s own emoji, such a fkn vibe!
WHO COULD BELIEVE IT??
🙏🙏
I'm a fellow musician who's enjoyed your music since I was a teen, and who owns all your albums, I have to say... this is your best album by far!
You have a heart of gold Daniel and everyone knows it but you! #MuchLove ✌
💜💜💜 thank you for the kind words - TeamFuture
Find Happiness in all you do, Daniel; drive down whatever sonic avenue lights your soul to spill out fire; draw from whatever river of inspiration you can and give it back tenfold.
Hooray, been excited for this!!!! 😊🎉❤
beautiful man. so glad you're doing well. screw anxiety and depression!
It's always nice to see you, Daniel. 🤗🥳 Always loved you music throughout the years. So proud of you!! Happy holidays to you & your family ❤
Hey Daniel, watching this part 3, I can only SEE and FEEL how LOVED you are, they say the trees that bear fruit are the ones that are stoned the most, so I hope you hold on to the love we feel for you to continue. DON'T GIVE UP ON LIFE, DON'T GIVE UP.. you are loved, okay? You are important... and about the music, if it pleases the public, the old fans and etc: fuck it.. The important thing is that you look good, nobody is in your skin to judge you, so we just ask that you look good , take care, we are your fans, we are here, if you need to do a live, chat with us, send a message in DM, we are your admirers, therefore we are your friends. Kisses from Brazil💛💚
OHHH my heart is pounding!!!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
Yeah, don't leave us, take time for yourself but like a previous comment, i totally agree
You did start at a young age but you made so many awesome songs, your lyrics are so real and touch so many people, which ( i think would be quite hard to do) but you are amazing... keep on keeping on Daniel 😘
Really enjoyed this thanks for sharing Daniel
Daniel is legendary! Ill listen his songs until I die.
I don’t know why but the way he had an emotional time talking about future never makes me feel like it was his goodbye like a suicide letter and the thought on that is horrifying. Outside of the amazing music Daniel has created over the span of his career is just a human being that wants to be understood, feel connection, and feel resonance like anyone else. I truly am sorry that Daniel has through so much trauma and that he felt so ostracized and betrayed. I as a teenager now couldn’t possibly imagine the kind of stress and expectations he felt. My heart goes out to him. He deserves the biggest apology for what the trauma and betrayal he lived through. ❤️🩹😔
You've inspired me to write 2 songs with your voice and your aura. As a songwriter that's not always an easy feat, but when you're organically poised to write purely off of the creative energy of another? It's righteous. Thank you for being you Daniel! ☮🙌🏽
I’m just so happy that Daniel has been able to finally be the artist he always wanted to be! Futureneverforever!
Glad you’re loving it - TeamFuture
Daniel's music saved my life. Much respect to him for being do vunerable in this docoseries, alot of what he spoke about resonated with me and made mefeel not do alone. Hope his health is good, proud of you for your sobriety and geting help for mental struggles, that takes alot of strength it aint easy. Keep shining, keep inspiring.much love ❤
Loved hearing how you impacted so many on such a positive way. You legend Dan and all the folks who Collab with you on this journey.
We love it too - TeamFuture
Brilliant, I've been on a bit of a self exile to gather myself and missed a few things, but I'm glad I jumped on your channel for the 3 part act and an update/insight.
The new album is Trippy man, I like it lol
What a wonderful culmination to this series - i look forward to the next adventure
Yesss finally .. listening now .. thanks scoundrel
Thanks Daniel. Great memories & a great exhibition. It is such an immersive experience. Plus add to that the new album. It's a day I'll remember
💜💜
Thank you daniel for sharing with us your fans! I love you 💚💜
Art is an unbounded ocean. Such a wonderful experience for everyone just wandering through your FutureNever 🙏🏻
(Watching the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse at the same time; love it when the universe does that)
Mate....silverchair was your fuel...you are now orbiting, but you will always be the astronaut. You are such a massive talent and australian at that. Its amazing to connect to you on such a common level with how you express yourself in the videos.
💜💜💜 thank you for the kind words - TeamFuture
😍Daniel, vc é merecedor de todo reconhecimento.Obrigada por tudo ❤
The man is back, always glad to hear new music from Daniel
"Need change, not imitate but to iritate All the ones you hate. I may be late"
I can never forget this song from school times.
Thank you❤
I'm not expecting the exhibition to tour (maybe a mini-exhibition? 🥺) , so I'm so grateful that we've gotten to see some of it in this video and in Daniel's IG stories. I can only imagine how awesome it would be to get to experience in person!
Been waiting for this!
cheers for the many years of music & memories dan 👌👌👌
looking back at what you created so young .. just unreal
🙌 - TeamFuture
Hell yeahhhh, I've been waiting omg!
Saw Silverchair 4 times in America. It was phenomenal and I feel grateful
I absolutely love this interviewer. And I absolutely love Daniels smile. I could listen to him talk all day. Absolutely interested in what he has to say.
Saw you in 1997 at a festival. I think you were just 18 years old. Was blown away. Pure, natural talent.
Rewatched several times 😂 watched w mom too!!!!!
Seeing this exists and he's still going made my day...fuck yeah!
Dan will appreciate this - TeamFuture
i just fell in love with the dissociatives. Better late than never. I wasn't a huge fan of silverchair, but this solo stuff is hitting me just right. Get those videos on here in 720p, at least. Great work. This is Daniel's time.
🙏🏼Thank you and Love 💗
That pretty much sums it up
Omg! You still sound same! It’s like your heart is singing. It made me cry. I love you Daniel ❤
We visited Past, Present and FutureNever on Friday! We loved it and felt so inspired! thank you to the staff that made us feel so welcome and were super helpful.
Love this - TeamFuture
